Project timeline

Project overview

A bridge on Glenmore Trail between Blackfoot Trail and 11th Street S.E. - identified on City planning documents as the CP Spur Bridge - is being replaced with a roadway. The bridge crosses over a gully that previously served as a rail corridor. It was taken out of service several years ago.

The bridge has reached the end of its original lifespan and has become a maintenance liability. Instead of replacing it, The City opted for a roadway. A road costs less to build and maintain than a bridge.

Project scope

The scope of this project includes removing the CP Spur Bridge, backfilling the gully and building a new roadway. Guardrails along the outer lanes and a 1.2km median barrier between east and westbound lanes will complete the project.

Traffic impacts

To minimize the impact on traffic, major works are scheduled for weekends and night times. Construction zone speed limits of 50 km/h are in effect for the duration of the project. The number of lanes that will remain open are scheduled as follows, weather permitting:

SB - Southbound / EB - Eastbound / WB - Westbound
